iMPROi EMENT lN TOOLS FOR BELTRIVETING.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent Nol3b, 16, dated August 20, 1872.

. sponding parts.

'The forward end of the handle B is of the form shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, to adapt it to operate the cutter D, which is placed in the forward part of the slot in the handle A, where it is pivoted to said handle by a small bolt, E. The cutter D is made in such aform, as shown in dotted lines in Ei g. 1, that it may be operated by the movements of the handle B. In the lower plate of the slotted forward part of the handle A is formed a hole to receive the end of the rivet to be out, the thickness of the-said plate being such as to leave the rivet at the proper length for riveting,

the tool itself thus serving as a gage. The upper plate of the handle A, above the hole that receives the rivet, is cut away to allow the cut-ofi' pieces of the rivets to drop o'utfreely. Upon the forward end of the handle A is formed a claw, F, for drawing out the old rivets. Upon the rear end of the handle B is formed a punch, G, for forming a hole in the belt. I prefer to make the punch G solid, as it packs the leather about the rivet and thus makes it more firm and secure. Upon the rear end of the other handle A is formed a head, H, in the face of which is formed a hole to receive the end of the rivet to enable the washer to be driven down upon the belt, and a cavity to round up the head of the rivet when desired.

Having thus describediny invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- An improved combination tool for belt-riveting, consisting of the handles A B, pivoted to each other, and provided with the cutter D, claw F, punch Gr, head H, substantially as herein shown and described, to adapt the tool.

to be used, as and for the purposes set forth.
